The translation industry is $40bn/pa and growing at some 13% pa. Demand for human translation might well rise alongside these innovations as awareness of the benefits and ROI of good translation spreads.

But software's a good bet too ;)



Probably the trend of using translators to edit machine translations will accelerate, but I can't see that as really of benefit to the individual translator.


Definitely post-editing will continue. I was mainly talking about the market itself growing, with the assumption that a large portion of that market will demand high-quality, human translation of marketing copy, instructions and legal texts.
